Executive Director
Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC)
Boston. MA

*Job Description:
THE SEARCH

The Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC) offers an extraordinary opportunity for a new executive leader to partner with its talented Steering Committee, staff and volunteers in pursuing an exciting and ambitious agenda. The new Executive Director will lead an organization that is highly respected, poised and prepared for growth.

THE ORGANIZATION

Founded in 2001, MTPC is dedicated to ending discrimination on the basis of gender identity and gender expression. The organization has accomplished major advocacy successes including passage of the Massachusetts Transgender Equal Rights Act in 2011. By attracting and mobilizing the under-utilized talents and skills of the transgender community, it has increased the visibility of transgender people and built a vibrant and supportive transgender and allied community across the state. Its current annual budget is $100,000 under the fiscal sponsorship of the Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth (BAGLY). MTPC currently has in place an Interim Director, part time staff and interns, and a volunteer Steering Committee.

THE OPPORTUNITY

MTPC is small, powerful, nimble and ready for its next stage of evolution. As the go-to transgender advocacy and education organization in Massachusetts, it is also frequently called upon to assist individuals in the role of direct service provider.

Recognizing and managing these (and other) disparate demands will be a key challenge for the new director.

THE POSITION

The incoming ED will share this goal and commitment to the organization’s mission, bringing aspirations, perspective and experience to guide the organization. The ED should be passionate, knowledgeable, and politically savvy. The ideal candidate is a seasoned manager with imagination and purpose, able to successfully implement ideas and plans, a skilled collaborator, committed to open dialogue and transparency, and a hardworking self-starter who is dedicated to social justice. The ED will have demonstrable successes as an innovative, facilitative and collaborative leader, able to create a vision and inspire others through positive, inclusive engagement.

The ED will report to the Steering Committee and is responsible for programming and fundraising, as well as financial and administrative management of the organization. MTPC’s new leader will be expected to play a strong, visible and strategic role in developing and implementing plans to promote growth, impact and long-term sustainability.

REQUIREMENTS

·- A Bachelor’s degree is preferred along with 5+ years of leadership and/or senior management experience

- Experience in grassroots organizations with a demonstrated understanding of and commitment to community organizing and movement building. Non-profit governance and board development experience is desired

- Extensive experience working with/in transgender communities along with a deep understanding of transgender community needs and issues. Proven commitment to promoting inclusivity in gender expression and identity

Experience and understanding of anti-oppression policies that include the integration of race, power, class, age, and gender issues. Experience collaborating with diverse communities and commitment to inclusion, fair treatment and creating opportunities for all
